The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

The image is of a four panel comic.
In the first panel we see a dragon sitting on a pile of treasure. A speech bubble pointing off panel reads, “Dragon, why do you have all this treasure?”
In the second panel we zoom in on the dragons face. He simply says “shiny”.
In the third panel we pan to the left and see that there is a crow standing next to the dragon on the treasure.
In the fourth panel we zoom in on the crows face. He says “hell yeah”.

If you enjoyed The Incident at Galley House and want to know more about the work that went into it, Robin from Evil Trout has written up a really interesting in-depth behind-the-dev post that I really recommend! (Thanks for the kind shout-out as well Robin)

Played through Type Help which robs The Incident At Galley House of drama but, as someone a bit skeptical of a text adventure being made into an actual game, the execution is spot on. A proper little radio play whodunit. Lovely production values and attention to detail.

On Sunday the 7th of March, 1936, a group of locals made their way up the long, muddy track to Galley House. As far as any of them knew, the house had stood empty for decades. Inside, they discovered ...

I just rolled credits (and 100%-ed) The Incident at Galley House. I wasn't even halfway through last night, and there were some real 🤯 moments after that. What an incredibly well constructed game. Great voice performances too. I wouldn't be surprised if this ends up being my GOTY.

My heart sinks a little when I see indie dev promoted as an answer to layoffs. This space is always a bloodbath. But the shift is brutal. AAA devs switching to indie dev can be like folks from NYC trying to live in Paleolithic Earth. Even AAA devs moving to Triple-I can be a slow motion tragedy.

good to know: the etymology of weird coming from "having power to control fate," old english. so if you get called weird all the time because you don’t/can’t fit in, its because you control your own fate. ❤️‍🩹 www.etymonline.com/word/weird
weird(adj.)
c. 1400, "having power to control fate," in weird sisters, from weird (n.) "force that sets events in motion or determines their course; what is destined to befall one;" from Old English wyrd "fate, chance, fortune; destiny; the Fates." The modern senses developed from weird sisters, not immediately from the Old English word, which is etymologically "that which comes."

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖
A pride flag with every color band represented by a NASA image. White is Earth clouds, pink is aurora, blue is the Sun in a specific wavelength, brown is Jupiter clouds, black is the Hubble deep field, red is the top of sprites, orange is a Mars crater, yellow is the surface of Io, green is a lake with algae, blue is Neptune, and purple is the Crab Nebula in a specific wavelength.

Italian voice actor Carlo Bononi was the voice of all of the characters on Pingu. A trained clown by trade, he used a theater technique called grammelot, which consists of "speaking" in a mix of babbled gibberish noises. He improvised all the voices live and unscripted.
